Palisades Charter High School (usually colloquially known as Pali or Pali High and abbreviated as PCHS) is an independent charter secondary school in Los Angeles, United States. The high school serves the neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades, Palisades Highlands, Kenter Canyon, and portions of Brentwood (including Brentwood Circle). Residents in Topanga, an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County, may attend Palisades or William Howard Taft Charter High School.
The school serves grades 9 through 12. Formerly directly administered by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the school is now an independent charter school. Its current enrollment numbers 2,903 students. Many students travel long distances to attend Palisades Charter High, which is one of the most highly ranked public high schools in the Los Angeles area.
In 2005, Palisades was recognized as a California Distinguished School. In 2015, Palisades was named one of America's Best High Schools by Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report.
Paul Revere Charter Middle School students are allowed to attend as a feeder school.
In early 2025, parts of the school were damaged by the Palisades Fire, forcing the school to temporarily close its campus. Instruction was moved to the former Sears building in Santa Monica thereafter.
